Swedish site removes Killzone 2 review

So wait, Sony is allowed to tell people when they can review games?! do they get to tell you what to rate it as well?

This is sad. Old media papers always bang their big drum about how independent and free they are. Then they fold under pressure like a thin sheet of silk.

Even Kotaku fought the man and won.

“Even Kotaku fought the man and won.”

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa?

EDIT: Oh, Home and the blackballing, when I seen that, my mind blanked XD

no they’re not like the guy from ms who created fable and asked people could you please rate it as a 9/10

@DarkElfa

“Sony is allowed to tell people when they can review games?!”

Yes

“do they get to tell you what to rate it as well?”

No

Sorted? Move on.

Yes, the Home blackballing thing at GDC some years back. I can’t find it on Kotaku since my AdBlock completely borks Kotaku.

Why is everyone acting as if this is a rare event? Most games have review embargos.

Embargo’s are just common sense. Why have reviews up of your game ages before it comes out? No, it’s not because it’s a way to keep back bad reviews, but you want everyone to be talking about your game when it actually comes out, and not 2 months before, so when it does come out, everyone has forgotten about it.

Embargoes are fine as long as they’re not stopping bad reviews coming out until it’s too late for people to cancel their preorders.

I find it kind of funny, I find it kind of sad.

The dreams in which I’m dying are the best I’ve ever had.

I find it hard to tell you, I find it hard to take.

When people run in circles it’s a very very……. Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad World.

Damn it. I’m famous on the interweb for 5 minutes and I missed it. Fuck it all.
